I bought Fallout 3 (a pre-owned "original release" copy) for my PS3 a few days ago for 9 bucks. Haven't had time to even drop it into the black box. /sigh

Thanks for the post.  I especially enjoyed the Yar's Revenge reference.  That was probably my favorite Atari game.

I also liked Eggomania.

Yeah the Atari 2600 was my first console game but my roots would be the Commodore 64

Some funny stuff by that Star Trek guy most people love to hate, Wil Wheaton.  I have looked at his blog every now and then and he is actually quite the gamer nerd.  His two times on "The Big Bang Theory" have been hilarious.

The funny information is about remembering your roots.  I can't decide if my roots would be grounded in a NES or Atari.  I played both, but identify more with NES, so probably the NES. I certainly can remember drawing some dungeons on graph paper.  Very time consuming but nice to see your work in action while playing an adventure.

In the closed beta of this.  It is a fantasy world browser based pirate ship mmo.  Still very incomplete in content, but what they have is rather fun so far.

Massively has beta keys.  Figured I'd toss this out for anyone interested (still one of the most exciting games coming out for me)

Yes Blood Elves before I quit playing (for the time being anyway ) I switched some characters over to the horde side 

I see what you mean by not really being able to tell who is holding the Axe, as for the pose, it was intentional.
